May 2024 Internal Assessments Timeline
All assessments must be submitted following the internal deadlines. Most must be uploaded both to the May 2024 IB Submissions Turnitin and teacher's Google Classroom assignments (exceptions: art, computer science, languages).
How can students improve their results?
Studying last-minute always feels fine the day of the exam, but research shows the results for students who wait until the night before are worse than a spaced study approach.
See the Spaced Practice Method and the Retrieval Method instead of the "Cramming the night before" Method
The Learning Scientists talk to students, teachers and parents about these practices in their blog here.
